The growing concern of a drug-using society at the time is featured, and an immensely popular Paul McCartney does the title theme - indicating that the Bond series need not be rooted solidly in the three-piece suit days of 1962. Jane Seymour gives an excellent performance in her "introductory" role (although it was her fourth film).

A bit of black magic and voodoo intertwined with gadgetry and high-tech machinery will have the viewer wondering if, indeed, there was magic in the movie after all - indeed, the cards WERE always right under Solitaire's power. Magical or not, Live and Let Die provides an interesting doorway to the other five Moore pictures - J.W. Pepper returns and Tee Hee seems to be Jaws' forerunner. 26 of 36 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes Solitaire (Jane Seymour) | James Bond Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Solitaire is a fictional character in the James Bond novel and film Live and Let Die . In the film, she was portrayed by Jane Seymour . Contents Film biography Bond meets Solitaire. Solitaire is a psychic in the employ of Dr. Kananga . As James Bond travels to New York by plane, Solitaire describes his journey to Dr. Kananga through the use of Tarot cards. The one drawback to her ability is that she must remain a virgin in order to preserve it. After Bond follows Kananga to the Fillet of Soul restaurant, he meets Solitaire. After a rather brief encounter with Mr.

Big, Bond asks Solitaire about his future. When instructed to pick up a card Bond quizzically comments "us?” after picking up the lovers card. When Bond and Rosie Carver visit San Monique, Solitaire tells Kananga the future, once more picking the lovers card in regard to Bond. Later that evening Bond returns to the island. After convincing Solitaire they are meant to be lovers, with odds stacked in his favor, Bond succeeds in seducing her. After losing her virginity to Bond through their sexual intercourse, Solitaire loses her psychic power, which endangers her life. Bond discovers Kananga is hiding vast areas of poppy fields. Bond and Solitaire evade Kananga's men, escaping in Quarrel Jr. 's boat. Bond seduces Solitaire. After arriving in New Orleans , Bond and Solitaire are captured and taken to Mr Big. Before Bond can be given his skydiving lesson without a parachute, he manages to escape. Solitaire is recaptured by Kananga's henchmen and taken back to him. While interrogating Bond at the Fillet of Soul, Kananga demands to know whether he has slept with Solitaire.

When 007 refuses to answer, Kananga decides to find out for himself by putting Solitaire's psychic powers to the test. Taking Bond's watch, he reads out what he claims to be its registration number and asks Solitaire to confirm whether he is telling the truth. After some hesitation, she replies, "You speak the truth", prompting a seemingly satisfied Kananga to release Bond. Initially relieved at her narrow escape, she soon learns that she has, in fact, answered incorrectly. When Kananga asks why she allowed herself to be seduced by Bond, Solitaire protests that the cards had spoken and she had no choice in the matter. Unmoved, he slaps her to the floor, sentences her to death and turns her over to Baron Samedi . Kananga demands to know why Solitaire betrayed him. After a raid on the Fillet of Soul, Felix Leiter informs Bond that Kananga has taken Solitaire back to San Monique , leaving behind three Tarot cards: the High Priestess, the Moon and Death. Arriving on San Monique, where a voodoo ceremony is already under way, Bond looks on as Solitaire is led out for sacrifice.

Tied to an altar, she watches helplessly as a gleeful Dambala menaces her with the same snake that killed the unfortunate Baines. However, just before it can inflict the fatal bite, Bond interrupts the ceremony, shoots Dambala dead and rescues Solitaire. While attempting to escape, Bond and Solitaire make their way through an underground passageway, which ultimately leads them to Kananga and Whisper . The pair are tied up and left to be eaten by sharks, but Bond manages to free himself and defeat Kananga, allowing the pair to escape once more. Later, on the train, she beats Bond at gin rummy and tries to have a quiet night before Tee Hee traps her in the bed, believing Bond did it. After Bond kills Tee Hee, he rescues her out of the bed and they soon make out. Gallery Add a photo to this gallery Trivia 1 Sep ’09 Jane Seymour was just 22 years old when she played white witch Solitaire in Live and Let Die (1973). Her wardrobe was a mixture of uniform (as tarot reader), casual (escaping the poppy fields, New Orleans airport) and sexualised (sacrificial peasant dress, various chemises).

Most illustrative of her kooky characterisation however are the maxi-dresses. There is something intrinsically spiritual about a maxi dress; the way it flows and veils the body. It gels with the divine aspect of Solitaire and later, with a rapidly decreasing neckline, epitomises her sexual awakening by Roger Moore’s randy new 007. When we first meet Solitaire it is only from the waist up, sitting in the U.N. building in New York alongside crooked diplomat Dr. Kananga/A.K.A. Mr Big (Yaphet Kotto) in her unfussy ‘civvy’ clothing: White pointed collar shirt, red knitted tank top. Long gold-tone costume necklaces. Knitwear was popular as part of the 1970s hippy craft revival; generally as informal wear during the day and often (as in the film’s opening scene) sleeveless over a slim-fit shirt. The vivid red colour is indicative of the voodoo vibe cultivated by Mr. Big and his eclectic street wear crew. The big reveal for Jane Seymour in tarot costume is in the back room of the New York Fillet of Soul restaurant.

Just a few minutes earlier we see Solitaire stripping down from a brown front-zipped mini dress and knee-high leather boots into a matching lacy topped chemise. Soon after, she accompanies Mr. Big leaving their hotel offering just a glimpse of her newly clad red patent leather platform heel boots as they clip-clop along the concrete. The first time that we see Solitaire in full dress regalia is the first time James Bond does too. It is her classic look: Red velvet maxi dress embellished with bead and sequin appliqué, high neckline with attached silver pendants, wide flared sleeves, red fringed hem. Matching cloak with tassel detailing to the chest. Note the raised round neck; at this stage in the film Solitaire is still ‘unviolated’ by Bond. Note too the ethnic styled adornment which appears somewhat Turkish in origin rather than North African (the habitual home of tarot reading). With this dress experienced costume designer Julie Harris (Whirlpool, 1959; Goodbye, Mr. Chips 1969) created Solitaire’s most enduring poster image, possibly the most enduring for any Bond girl after Ursula Andress in Dr.

No (1962) – and Seymour isn’t even wearing a bikini. Later following her deflowering from 007, Solitaire dons a far more suggestive and revealing empire line maxi gown in gold and red lamé with plunging neckline and butterfly shaped sequin appliqué. Again featuring voluminous flared sleeves, only this time gathered into the wrist. Before this point during her escape with Bond in the poppy fields, Solitaire adopts a more practical look with orange tunic shirt and white slacks; soon after a delicate sixties style peach day dress. By now a real contrast has formed between casual, uniform and sexual; just a few scenes earlier Seymour wears a blue kaftan-esque maxi, then a slinky red silk jersey dress with interesting (and revealing) bar finish across the chest. The vibrant red colour though, in some shape or form, is nearly always present in the company of Kananga. A final memorable image of Solitaire occurs during her attempted sacrifice by crazed Baron Samedi. She is openly erotised in an outfit designed to be both virginal and carnal: Full length empire line dress in white silk with slashed lace sleeves, low v-neckline and flower/vine detailing to the bust.

Gold-tone pendant necklace. This gathered empire line is similar to designer Thea Porter’s output during the 1970s, although with no ethnic veneer. It is, in fact, rather a plain dress, somewhat akin a hippy wedding gown. Jane Seymour spent much of her screen time in Live and Let Die being yanked from pillar to post by Roger Moore’s 6’2” frame as they ran from Kananga and his plaid jacketed henchmen. It is fair to say that Solitaire was not a modern Bond girl; she didn’t do much to advance women’s lib (apart from promoting trousers), yet she did represent a hip bohemian fashion movement so often overlooked in 007’s world. Moreover a Bond girl can be sexy in long frock, even if apparently she needs her cleavage on display most of the time to do so.

Following Bond, Seymour's career has included several major rolesâmost famously as Dr. Michaela Quinn on "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman."

Berenice Marlohe and Naomie Harris were the most recent "Bond" girls in the 23rd installment of the spy series entitled "Skyfall," but we have to agree with the Daily Beast and wonder: Is the part is even worth having? Will being loved by the famous spy help the next "Bond" girl's career or set them back a few years? Let's go back in time and consider the fate of previous "Bond" beauties.âXFINITY Entertainment Staff(Getty) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast. Eva Green - Bond... Before French-born actress Eva Green took on the role of Vesper Lynd opposite Daniel Craig in 2006's "Casino Royale," she was known mainly only to theater junkies and those who saw a whole lot her in her first feature film, Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Dreamers." Green was not a mainstream starlet by any means when she played Lynd, Bond's first romantic interest.

"They asked me to come and audition a year and a half ago in London and I didn't want to go, because the Bond Girl role is a bit dangerous for an actress, I'd say," Green admitted. But taking that risk not only won Green a BAFTA and Entertainment Weekly's honor as the fourth best Bond girl in the franchise's history, but it also led to more roles. She's since gone on to star in more films in the past three years than in her 26 years before "Casino Royale," such as "The Golden Compass" and "The Last Word." (Photo: Sony Pictures) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast. Halle Berry - Bo... Though she had already earned an Emmy, a Golden Globe, an Oscar, and a role in another pop-culturally significant series as Storm in "X-Men," Halle Berry catapulted her stardom to another level when she joined the James Bond movie franchise in 2002 in that infamous orange bikini. As Jinx, Berry paid homage to the first Bond Girl Ursula Andress from "Dr. No" 40 years earlier. But the role may have also slowed down her career.

"It's splashy, it's exciting, it's sexy, it's provocative, it's fun and it will keep me still out there after winning an Oscar," Berry told Ebony of the role upon its release. Out there? Maybe, but not necessarily in a favorable light. Though "Die Another Day" earned more than $400 million in global box office, Berry has starred in a series of panned productions like 2004's "Catwoman," which did earn her a Razzie for Worst Actress of the Year. (Photo: MGM) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast. Sophie Marceau -... Parisian actress Sophie Marceau first achieved international recognition as Princess Isabelle in the 1995 Oscar Best Picture winner, "Braveheart," then took on the role of Hippolyta in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and joined the 007 franchise in "The World Is Not Enough" in 1999. As Elektra King, the siren was not only a 007 love interest but also the movie's psychopathic villain, a distinction she's proud of.

"I wasn't a Bond girl," Marceau told The Guardian of the role in 2008. "I was the villain. I played a megalomaniac, which might surprise you was a very happy experience." Since then, Marceau has shied away from the American market, only earning roles in two U.S. films â "Anthony Zimmer" and "Alex & Emma" â in the past decade. She has, however, continued to act in numerous French films. (Photo: MGM) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast. Teri Hatcher - B... Her breakthrough role on "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," led to Teri Hatcher being cast opposite Pierce Brosnan as Paris Carver in the 1997 Bond installment, "Tomorrow Never Dies." Hatcher played the part three months pregnant, but in hindsight, she says, it probably wasn't worth it. "It's such an artificial kind of character to be playing that you don't get any special satisfaction from it," she said of being a Bond Girl nearly a decade later.

For the next seven years after "Tomorrow Never Dies," Hatcher struggled to reproduce her Lois-level of fame and was stuck taking on parts in films like Spy Kids until 2004, when she was cast in "Desperate Housewives." Six seasons later, Hatcher is still playing Susan Mayer on Wisteria Lane. (Photo: MGM) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast. Famke Janssen - ... As the first Bond girl to star with Pierce Brosnan, model-turned-actress Famke Janssen took on the murderous role of the winky-wink-named Xenia Onatopp in the 1995 Bond reboot Goldeneye. For the largely unknown Dutch actress, the film gave her plenty of professional golden opportunities. She's since moved on from the 007 franchise to star in the X-Men series, recently had a recurring role on the highly acclaimed Nip/Tuck, and mocked the secret agent genre in 2002's I-Spy, based on the 1960s television series. "I get to spoof the Bond movie. Finally, after years I get a chance!" she told BBC of the role.

(Photo: United Artists) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast. Carey Lowell - B... Playing opposite Timothy Dalton in the 16th installment of the 007 series, Carey Lowell took on the part of Pam Bouvier, a former military pilot with CIA connection who tries to help 007 get even with a coldblooded drug lord. "She's more competitive and confrontational," the model-turned-actress told The Milwaukee Journal of her coveted Bond girl role. "That had to be a change in order for the Bond films to continue because I think they might have been losing audience. It's still a clichÃ©, but it's an updated clichÃ©." Lowell, who is married to Richard Gere and who has since gone on to star on two successful Law & Order series knew she needed to break away from the stereotype associated with 007's femme fatales. One of Lowell's first roles following Bond was as Tom Hanks' late wife in Sleepless in Seattle.

Tanya Roberts was already well acquainted with guns, spies, and gadgetry before she joined the ranks of Bond Girls â she had been one of "Charlie's Angels" in the television series' final season. In the early 1980s, she also popped up in a string of failed television pilots and on the cover of Playboy. And in 1985, she played a sexy geologist alongside Roger Moore in "A View to Kill" â the film closes with her whispering the words, "Oh, Jamesâ¦" Her career took a severe turn for the worse after Bond and she found herself stuck in mostly cheap thrillers. It took until the 2000s for her to reappear in a familiar role, ditzy neighbor Midge Pinciotti in "That 70s Show." (Photo: MGM) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast. Maud Adams - Bon...

Swedish-born Bond girl may have played second-string femme fatale to her countrywoman and friend Britt Ekland in "The Man with the Golden Gun," but unlike most before her Maud Adams also had another opportunity to seduce 007 nearly a decade later. Adams is the only woman in the film franchise's history to play two different Bond Girls and the second time around she portrayed one of Ian Fleming's naughtier-named characters, "Octopussy." Though her career didn't exactly take off, Adams did make a business out of talking about and appearing in all things Bond, minus a guest stint on "That 70s Show" and a recurring role on Swedish soap opera, Vita lÃ¶gner.

Kim Basinger was 30 when she played Domino Petachi in "Never Say Never Again" â but Sean Connery â who reprised his role as James Bond after retiring in 1971 â was 53.

And though the movie is called an "unofficial" Bond movie because it was not produced by EON Productions, it grossed an impressive $160 million at the box office. Since then, Basinger has worked steadily, earning a Golden Globe nod for her role in "The Natural" in 1984, and a Globe and an Academy Award for her performance as Lynn Bracken in "L.A. Confidential" in 1997. (Photo: Warner Brothers) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast. Barbara Bach - B... In "The Spy Who Loved Me," Barbara Bach played Anya Amasovaâa Russian agent who teamed up with Roger Moore's 007 to stop another plot for world domination. At the time, film critic John Simon said that Bach "may just be the most beautiful woman to ever enter the Bondian universe." But Bach had fewer kind words for her co-star, calling Bond "a chauvinist pig who uses girls to shield him against bullets." Grossing $185.4 million worldwide, the movie reignited the Bond franchiseâbut Bach's career didn't exactly catch fire.

She appeared in Playboy throughout the '70s and '80s (and, again in 2008) and married Ringo Starr in 1981, with whom she appeared in the eminently forgettable Caveman.

Diana Rigg - Bon... In the nearly 50 years of the movie franchise, James Bond married once for realâand it didn't end well. His estimable wife was played by Diana Rigg, the British born actress who found fame in the mid-60s on "The Avengers." As secret agent Mrs. Emma Peel, Rigg reached a level of fame on the British series before starring as Tracy in "On Her Majesty's Secret Secret" in 1969. "I'm very anxious to see if it will be successful," she said of being Mrs. 007.

"I think it will be, but who knows if I'll be accepted as the wife of James Bond? The success of the role will determine whether I'll be able to do films in that genre in the future or not." Though the sixth Bond film did have critical and commercial success, George Lazenby's Bond is typically derided as the worst in history. After Bond, Rigg, 71, spent the majority of her career on the theater, earning a Tony for her performance in the title role of "Medea" in 1994 and two other nominations.

Before playing the most famous Bond Girl of all â the unforgettably-named Pussy Galore â actress Honor Blackman first found fame on "The Avengers." For Blackman, now 84, there is still only one 007. "Connery will always be my favorite Bond. He's the sexiest devil ever," she told WalesOnline last year. "Physically he was perfect and with his weird accent, he was rather fascinating.

You did believe he was someone who had just laid a woman, moved on to shoot someone else and not given a toss, which is how the character was written." Many would also pin her as Bond's sexiest girl ever. Since Goldfinger, Blackman has worked steadily, appearing in many movies (including "Bridget Jones' Diary") and TV shows. In 2007, she was one of several actresses to appear in a controversial ad campaign addressing domestic violence in which she appeared to have a black eye.

Emerging from the ocean with her deadly bikini and accompanying weapon, Ursula Andress became a sex symbol for generations to come. As the first Bond Girl, Honey Ryder, in 1962's "Dr. No," the Swiss actress a Golden Globe for New Star of the Year. "She set the standard by which all of the others would be judged," the president of the International James Bond Fan Club and Archive, Graham Rye told BBC in 1999. "The girls that have come since have almost matched up to her." After Dr.

No., Andress went on to star with Elvis, Frank Sinatra, and Marcello Mastroianni in a series of early '60s features. And when her iconic bikini went up for auction in 2001, it fetched more than $50,000. "This is the most important piece of memorabilia ever sold at auction," winning bidder and Planet Hollywood co-founder Robert Earl told the BBC.

Bond Girls: Live and Let Die (1973) Live and Let Die (1973) Greatest Bond Girls in James Bond Films Title Screen Film Title/Year/Director, Bond Girl (Actress) Screenshots d. Guy Hamilton Miss Caruso (Madeline Smith) The debonair, super-cool agent James Bond (Roger Moore) was called upon to investigate, summoned from his bed at 5:48 am which he shared with voluptuous Italian agent Miss Caruso (Madeline Smith) ("Beautiful Girl" in the credits) who had been involved in his recent Italian mission in Rome, but had since gone missing.

"M" (Bernard Lee) and Miss Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell) came to Bond's apartment for an early morning visit to deliver instructions, causing Bond to quickly hide the scantily-clad woman, in a game of cat-and-mouse, while he was briefed. Miss Moneypenny actually conspired to help Bond hide Miss Caruso in a living room closet and avoid detection by "M." Bond was to travel to New York to investigate three suspicious killings, aided by Q's latest gadget - a bullet-deflecting Rolex watch. After "M" and Miss Moneypenny departed, Bond used his watch's magnet to unzip the back of Miss Caruso's dress (Caruso: "Such a delicate touch." Bond: "Sheer magnetism, darling"). Live and Let Die (1973) Solitaire (Jane Seymour) Solitaire was a naive, sensual, virginal Tarot card-reader who worked for San Monique's Caribbean island evil foreign minister-statesman Dr. Kananga (Yaphet Kotto). Kananga also managed a chain of Fillet of Soul restaurants under his alias - as Harlem black crime lord and syndicate leader "Mr.

Big." Bond (Roger Moore) first met Kananga's psychic tarot card-soothsayer and virginal "High Priestess" Solitaire (Jane Seymour) in the back of Mr. Big's Harlem Fillet of Soul restaurant (Solitaire: "I know who you are, what you are and why you've come. You have made a mistake. You will not succeed"). After being disarmed, she had him pick a card to identify himself, and he turned over the Fool card ("You have found yourself"). After Mr. Big ordered Bond to be killed ("Y'all take this honky out and waste him, now"), Bond selected another card to foretell his future, the Lovers card, and he asked her, prophetically: "Us?" The heroine had to remain chaste in order to retain her mystical, psychic powers and keep herself from danger, although she was beginning to have visions of making love to Bond, when she continually drew The Lovers tarot card. Her mother had also had the same power, as a disturbed and angered Kananga reminded her: "These growing signs of impertinence begin to disturb me, Solitaire, even as they did with your mother before you.

She had the power and lost it, became useless to me. You will not make the same mistake." Inside Solitaire's cliff-top island headquarters set up for her by Kananga, Bond confronted her - but she berated him for playing with her tarot cards, although he predicted: "The cards say we will be lovers." She asserted it was "impossible" and "forbidden" for her to lose her virginity through earthly love - it would mean the loss of her magical powers. Bond tricked her to pick a card from a fixed Tarot deck (composed completely of The Lovers cards), and she slept with Bond. She was a willing lover, seeking to escape the oppressive Kananga, although she needed reassurance from Bond: "There has to be a first time for everyone." And then he confessed his duplicity in seducing her: "Darling, I have a small confession to make...The deck was slightly stacked in my favor." She replied: "The physical violation cannot be undone," and she feared Kananga's retaliation. He promised to protect her, but first needed to know the deadly and valuable secret of what Kananga was protecting at Voodooland.

But before leaving, he agreed to remain for another round of love-making (Bond: "There's no sense in going off half-cocked"). When the two were brought back together by Mr. Big, the crime lord jealously asked Bond about whether he had slept with Solitaire ("Did you mess with that?...Did you touch her?"), but agent 007 refused to answer to anyone but Kananga ("When I see Kananga"), so Mr. Big ripped off his facial disguise to reveal himself as Kananga. Solitaire tricked Kananga into believing that she still possessed her psychic powers, but then the disappointed Kananga, feeling spiteful and betrayed, revealed that he knew her secret, and he brutally slapped her. Now that she was no use to him, he decided to kill her at "the proper time." She eventually assisted Bond in combating the evil villain and defeating his plans to seek control of the North American heroin market. But first she had to be rescued from a strange voodoo sacrificial ceremony held in Voodooland's cemetery-chapel on the island of San Monique. She was led out for execution and her wrists were tied to stakes.

Intimidating cemetery god Baron Samedi (Geoffrey Holder) with skeletal makeup, one of Kananga's associates, prepared to throw her into a casket filled with poisonous snakes. Bond cut Solitaire loose with a machete, and the two fled into Kananga's subterranean lair. When the two were captured and lowered into Kananga's pool and served up as bait for his pet sharks, Bond cut himself free, killed Kananga in a gory death scene by an exploding shark gun CO2 pellet in his mouth, and rescued the two of them. In the film's final scene, as they took an overnight train from New Orleans to New York and were preparing to make love in their sleeper cabin (Solitaire: "The first time in my life, I feel like a complete woman"), henchman Tee Hee (Julius W. Harris) with a pincer-hook hand and steel arm attempted to take Bond's life, without success. She and Bond presumably proceeded to make love again, as the film ended.
